iHeartRadio Music Festival returns to Las Vegas

Pop music reigns supreme in Las Vegas, but the city's never as jam packed with stars as it is during the iHeartRadio festival, taking place September 19-20. How jam packed are we talking? Think of all the live performances of the Grammys, American Country Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards combined into one festival — just without any trophies being handed out in between.

The fourth annual festival announced a star-studded and diverse lineup, including Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Usher, Nicki Minaj, Mötley Crüe, One Direction, Lorde, Calvin Harris and Ed Sheeran. They'll take the stage at the MGM Grand Garden Arena with host Ryan Seacrest, and the whole thing will be broadcast live on all Clear Channel radio stations, streamed on Yahoo, and will later air as a two-night special on the CW. You never know what's going to happen with a live show, including some surprise, never-before-seen collaborations between music's biggest stars.

Also returning this year on Saturday, September 20 is the iHeart Music Festival Village, located down the Strip at The Lot across from Luxor. The outdoor component to the party features interactive experiences and fan zones, but also live performances by Iggy Azalea, Childish Gambino, Lil Jon and Neon Trees, with more to be announced.

Unfortunately, the MGM Grand Garden Arena shows are already sold out, but there are still tickets available for the Festival Village. If you have a radio, you've no doubt heard your local Clear Channel station announce the festival, as well as how you can win one-of-a-kind, all-expense paid dream trips to Las Vegas to join thousands of other dedicated music fans to experience the 2014 iHeartRadio Music Festival. Even better, you might even score two tickets right from us at Experience Las Vegas.
